Actually, just caught another part that should be addressed for purposes of clarification of our position.
but I was trying to say that there must be SOME things that even you would say, gee maybe that kind of stuff shouldn't be posted,
Of course. Things like threats, personal attacks, etc.
But regarding "libel", it's not good enough to say "Well, there are SOME things I don't want posted because they really shouldn't be posted." That's not just gray. That's a paisley sofa cover in a black and white photograph.
Let's develop on the previous scenario. What we've covered so far is that BOP said that the CEO was lying in a recent press release.
Now, suppose the chairman of that board deletes the post because it's libel.
That's all we know so far.
Do I restore the post or do I leave it deleted?
A clear, simple answer please, because this is very much a "Yes/No" thing and if I can't get away with not making a direct do-or-don't decision on this matter, neither can anyone who wants to change how I handle such a specific part of my job.
Anyone is invited to answer. I'll answer in my next post.
